Definition
The angle between two axes of two reference frames superimposed to the atom groups A and B.
The superimposition is made by finding lowest root mean square deviation between the reference structure and structure of a given atom group. The fit is not mass weighted.
where R' are atoms from given atom group and Rref are atoms from given reference structure.
PBC note: The minimum-image convention is not used.

Key | Type | Default | Description |
name | string | unique CV name | |
group_a | mask | atoms employed in the superimposition of the reference frame A | |
reference_a | string | name of file with the reference structure in the XYZ format, the structure must have the same number of atoms as the group group_a | |
direction_a | x, y, z | selection of corresponding axis of the reference frame A | |
group_b | mask | atoms employed in the superimposition of the reference frame B | |
reference_b | string | name of file with the reference structure in the XYZ format, the structure must have the same number of atoms as the group group_b | |
direction_b | x, y, z | selection of corresponding axis of the reference frame B |
